WordPress and SEMIOLOGIC upgrade problem

Because of hiccups with my WP (the semiologic pro 2.5 edition), I backed up my site refinancemortgagenow.net and then deleted the “/blog” directory containing wordpress. I then installed WP 2.5.1 (the semiologic pro version).

The upgrade immediately caused WordPress to no longer see my mySQL database and there are no longer any posts online. The site is https://www.refinancemortgagenow.net/blog

Can anyone suggest a solution? I am all out of ideas. I don’t have much money, but would be willing to Pay Pal $100 to whoever can solve this issue. I’m desperate. We’ve just lost over 2000 posts and I’ve been offline for 2 weeks now trying to figure it out on my own ?

I am not someone with experience fiddling with databases or server issues. Is this a common problem with WordPress upgrades? Help help help! ??

Thank you!
Christine

I don’t think this is the problem, but here are the mySQL settings in the Config.php file:

<?php
// ** MySQL settings ** //
define(‘WP_SITEURL’, ‘https://www.refinancemortgagenow.net/blog&#8217;);
define(‘WP_HOME’, ‘https://www.refinancemortgagenow.net/blog/&#8217;);
define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘clege_wrdp1’); // The name of the database
define(‘DB_USER’, ‘clege’); // Your MySQL username
define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘real_password’); // …and password
define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change this value
define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’);
define(‘DB_COLLATE’, ”);
